We have a little over 40,000 miles on the vehicle. Zero service required. Our gas mileage has improved to an average 19.5 - 20.5. Most of our driving is rural. I still think it is an awesome vehicle and ranks at the top of my all time favorites that we’ve owned.

My last 3 vehicles owned were 2017 Land Cruiser, 2015 Suburban and a 2014 Escalade. We now have 4 kids and the Land Cruiser was getting too cramped. I looked at another Escalade and it just did not have the features and comfort of the 2018 Expedtion Max. The space in the front, second Row and third row with the tip forward seating is awesome. The EcoBoost pulls like a jet engine with great gas mileage for such a big truck. There’s plenty of USB ports for the kids devices. The fit and finish is very good, however it’s not quite on par with the Land Cruiser. My wife likes the light feeling the steering gives vs the tighter feel of the LC. We like the Ford Pass app that connects with the Sync 3 system. Some of the bells and whistles are gimmicky in my book like the auto parking and trailer backup assist, but hey....it’s one heck of a fun toy! Overall, Ford did a good job on the truck and has raised the barn in the full size SUV category.

We opted to go with the Limited trim on the Max, planning to keep this a while and the added features make it hard to want anything more. I've had a Lincoln with the same motor for five years (plus many of the features the Limited trim added to the Expedition) and I still love it. The engine has over 100K miles and still runs flawlessly. I'm amazed by the acceleration from this enormous vehicle. You wont be running down sports cars, but you will have no trouble merging into interstate traffic. It moves better than I thought possible for something so large. It's also ridiculously smooth and comfortable. The independent rear suspension gives it a superior ride to the top competitors. The Sync 3 is an improvement versus my older vehicle and the B&O sound system is beautiful. Last little nugget; unlike one of the main competitors, the rear glass opens separately from the tailgate. As tall as it is, I don't think we'll be using it for getting groceries in and out but if you're a DIY guy like me you will appreciate being able to haul longer planks. Sticker shock aside, we have no regrets! Six months later, we're still happy. We made the right choice!

I bought my truck used with 14,400 miles on it. I went with the expedition instead of the suburban because of available options and price.. Less than a mile from the dealership, all of the dash went out and then the truck died. The gateway module went out but it was covered under warranty. It took almost 5 weeks to get my truck back. A few weeks later, back in the shop for sunroof drain leak. Few weeks later, leaking again. Last month it was in the shop for three weeks to replace the module for the shift differential. Yesterday, the check engine light came on so back it goes. I have only had this truck one year and it has 26,000 miles now. The dealership is so great about the issues we've had and luckily we got the extended warranty because that is the only reason I haven't lost my mind.
Great Vehicle but Ford Engineers What the Hell...

Great travel vehicle, love to drive and styling in great. However, the rotary shift selector is ridiculous and can cause confusion if quick reaction needed. Hard to find the selector in a hurry -- as human reaction reflex might think "round knob" but reach for radio control "round knob" instead. Too many competing round knobs. Sometimes have to take eye off road to fiddle with selector. Put in a column shift or console level to shift. It feels like you castrated the vehicle by eliminating a large shift lever that is more intuitive. Also too much electronics and gizmo's that may act up in the future. Who needs a motor-activated emergency brake...just one more thing to break or malfunction in future. Why is there not an in-line fuel filter instead of a "life time filter" that is integrated with the fuel pump inside the gas tank? I'd hate to accidentally get some gas with sediment stirred up and have to have the fuel pump integrated filter system impacted and need replaced and have the tank is pulled and reinstalled to do this work. The automatic transmission has no dip stick? What the hell... manual says look for slipping transmission or leaks instead. So a big concern is my climate control, first summer (3 months old) I the AC did not appear to be coming on right away no matter what setting. Would just blow hot air for 5 to 15 minutes before any cool air would come out the vents. The air goes from very warm to suddenly I can feel cold coming out vents and this transition from hot to cold again takes a while to happen, so on a hot day I might roast for the first 5 to 10 miles. When I had vehicle serviced, I told dealer about the problem with the AC, but I suspect when they checked it they just started it up and let it idle and walked away then came back later to check if cooling as opposed to checking on startup and monitoring the air temp for the first 5 to 10 minutes of operation. So Ford service center acted like nothing wrong. I need to take back to dealer on a hot day and insist they ride in the car with the windows rolled up after starting and see how they like roasting. (update regarding AC for early 2018 expeditions, warrantee issue, dealer finally replaced entire AC system -- all the tubing, compressor, evaporators, every component the carries or comes in contact with refrigerant due to system being contaminated at factory). FYI, depending on your driving style mileage will vary considerably. As of 2020 I have about 29,000 miles. I've taken several 1000 mile one-way trips mostly all Interstate, got between 24 to 25 mpg. Mostly on cruise control. Also if you get an Expedition, it is probably worth going with at lease the all wheel drive, especially if live where it snows or have to navigate steep unpaved roads.
